DABROWA GORNICZALocation
Description
The project consists of the partial financing of municipal roads in the city of Dabrowa Gornicza in Poland in a convergence region.
Objectives
This project will help bring the necessary upgrades to the municipality road network namely: the east-west connection around Dabrowa Gornicza, from the border with Sosnowiec to the border with Slawków, which constitutes the section of National Road 94 / E-40; the access road to a new economic zone being developed; and city roads. The project is therefore eligible under Article 309 point (a) projects for developing less-developed regions. It is also expected to benefit from Cohesion Fund financing (Infrastructure & Environment Funds). The consistency of the project with the lending policy to the transport sector (Decision CA/452/11) depends on its economic profitability and will be confirmed during the appraisal.
